280. The ' Most Trusted' Assassins!

[Demon's War (Recovery of Allies): Arc 13]

Year 2003 the Light has soon appeared and the newly born girl has shined over the humanity's responsibility.

The birth that once appeared had been now unknown for the entire Human Society and her existence was yet unknown, nor was it seen.

With the born girl's full-caring personality from baby's perspective, this girl was sent onto the Planet Earth to secretly live a Human's Life, without even herself knowing what she truly was.

Now, in the year 2019 the first human coming in contact with this girl was a 16 year old Teenager boy, who had become the next Substitute-Duelist and the ally of the potential future Godess.

Through the year of their meeting, the Substitute-Duelist never understood why her existence was so important and even before he managed to understand, his promises to keep her protected was a significant shock.

Due to this girl's crooked knowledge about herself, even herself couldn't believe what a mere human had spoken, but until now, year 2020, this teenager had held his promise straight and never let go, but due to the accident of her ally falling and seeing her 'killed', the teenager gave into his inhumane actions, and the first appearence of the disordered 'Fiend' all he had seen was a revenge over this girl's 'killer'.

But then, in sudden appearence, after this teenager finally broke the seal that kept his humanity hidden, the Demon God himself appeared out of nowhere and claimed that he'll use the power of both, The Semi-Godess and the Substitute-Duelist, for himself and without wasting time, the two teenager were both held, unconscious in Demon God's palm, taken to the underworld.

But due to the Demon God not being aware, his own son, known as the Half-Demon entered the underworld and was put under a difficult responsibility...

....Katorishi Codey, his hatred toward father was seen and as much as his fear prevailed over, he never let go of his allies.

In the unexpected, this Half-Demon promised himself to bring back, both Kirashito Ayuka the Semi-Godess and Shinkaku Timoshī the Substitute-Duelist to once again see Humanity.... To achieve this goal, his journey will be hard, long and with the Demon God in front of him, he's aware that his risks of entering the underworld might ended up in fighting his own father.....

[Underworld - Rocky Fields - Friday, 11:12 a.m.]

Codey and Tsuneo were still both wondering in the Underworld once both of them dropped down to a shorter monument that stood in front of them. "This massive monument, what does it represent?" Wondered Tsuneo who was in lack of confidence. "It seems like some sort of a 'Demon'." Codey scratched the top of his head while dropping his arms down next to his chest to think. "A Demon? But do you think it's that 'Demon God'?" Tsuneo raised his head to face directly at Codey. "No. I wouldn't say so. This statue seems drastically different than what we've seen earlier. But, it may be an important finding, we don't have reception down here on our phones, so we won't be able to take photo of it, but what we can do is type it down. As for our Zero Watch, it too does not have reception, so we're truly at bottomless pit of mind, plus the point of finding Tim and Ayuka, that's another task that we should be keeping an eye on, after all, we might not even be going the right way, and if we don't find them quickly enough, then I don't think there'll be any more chances of them surviving... Just why them, at this point I wish he was hunting me down instead of them... Using their weakened body to his advantage and then bringing them down here without them even knowing what's happening on the outside of this filthy place." Exclaimed Codey, biting into his nail. "Not just that. The entire Overworld has now been under population of mere Demons." Spoke Codey, as his right arm was shaking. "What can we even do now? I still gotta return this pendant to your friend, but if we don't come in the right time, then we'll be stuck down here as well." Claimed Tsuneo and it was clearly seen that he was disappointed at the current position they were in, however he didn't notice the pendant waving.

"Hey, look. It's waving." Tsuneo wondered at what Codey spoke and faced directly at the pendant. "What do you think it's doing?"

"I'm not sure, but it looks like it's trying to show something. I know this may sound dumb and strange, but maybe we should move at the direction of where this pendant is 'pointing'." Codey explained while trying to communicate with his own thoughts. "So now you're saying we should follow a mere object?" Tsuneo claimed a rather confusing look. "We don't have any clue and Tim has one pendant, so there's a chance that it might be pointing exactly to where Tim and Ayuka are being held... Speaking about them, I hope they're both all right." Codey faced at the distance once the lava squirked up.

[Underworld - Jail Cell - Friday, 11:13 a.m.]

Tim who was chained by his arms on the wall, came to a breeze of gentle wind, causing his hair to wave and the heat to circle around his body, due to that reason, he finally managed to open the eyes... It might of have been slower, but his view finally reformed out of fogginess.

"W-what now...? Am I in the Guild...?" But Tim finally noticed poles that acted as cell and caused his eyes to fully focus. "W-wait. What's going on? Why am I - is this some kind of prison?" Tim looked on both sides while he looked up and noticed that both of his wrists were chained up against the wall and immediately tried to break free, but the metal chains were impossible to be pulled out. "Wait, these aren't the chains that keep Spirituality at bay... If this is metal, then... Then this should work." Tim quickly released hot fire that raised in its temperature and soon turned blue, without wasting time it was clear that the metal was being melted and in significant moment, the liquid of the melted metal slipped down onto the floor, soon hardening on the floor, and at once, Tim's body dropped and his feet felt the sturdy floor.

He quickly shook both of his wrists once looking around. "This is just great. Where's 'Nensho' anyway?" Tim looked around and noticed that the blade wasn't no where near to his view. "I'm not sure what happened to me and why I am here, but it's clearly seen that the guy who brought me here, doesn't know my abilities." Tim quickly stepped in front of the jail cell and reached with his hands forward, wrapping his palms around it and leaning forward to see the hallway.

"Doesn't seem like anyone else is here..." Tim quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and then melted the poles of the jail cell when finally managing to stepping out of it. He quietly ran down the hallway once trying to find the exit and his Ginken. But in the few steps ahead, he came in realozation and his feet slid on the floor, causing him to successfuly stop. He faced to the cell on his right and noticed that Ayuka was also wrapped up on the wall. "... Ayuka...?!" But when he raised his voice, he instantly covered his mouth and looked around if anybody heard him. Without stopping he quickly bursted in with melting the metal and quickly running besides her. "H-Hey, are you awake?" Tim gently bumped her shoulder, but she didn't budge. "Damn it." Without more of his wasted time, Tim quickly reached with his finger at the metal. "This might hurt a little, just embrace yourself." He slowly began to melt the right chain while it slowly splashed down the floor, causing Ayuka's eyes to flinch and woke her up, she quickly faced at her left and became confused.

"T-Tim?"

"Y-you're all right.... T-thank God. Sorry to rush it, but we have no time to waste. I don't know why we're down here or how did we get down here, but I can tell this is not an ordinary cell, stay embraced, I gotta melt your other chain." Once he finished so, Ayuka felt the heat and held her teeth hard once she dropped down and was caught by Tim. "W-wait, what are you saying?" She questioned, looking directly into his face while getting caught by the waist, Tim looked toward the door of the cell and finally explained.

"I don't know much, but we've gotta get out of here, but I'm sure there will be enemies that will be rounded up in this area, so we must find our Ginkens first before we try to escape, quietly." Tim let go and ran for the cell, followed by Ayuka. "So... W-where exactly do you plan on going, and why are we the only ones here?" Questioned Ayuka, looking over his left shoulder.

But due to her heavy question, Tim's eyes shook and he remembered everything, from the moment of where Ayuka seemed to have gotten killed, while going beserk and then losing his powers. To hide his shock and happiness of her being all right, he flinched with his mouth and spoke aloud. "I'm not sure why only us, but there's probably no time to be wasted." Tim sighed and then both of them ran through the darkened hallway.

With the two of them on their way of escaping the 'Jail Cell', they weren't aware of who they'd come across, but one thing was for sure that it was not known to them, the four Duelists;

- Katorishi Codey

- Kirashito Ayuka

- Shinkaku Timoshī

- Sasaki Tsuneo

Each of them had one problem in the escape, due to the main group of Rez, filled with powerful Demons, they were bound to fight all five of them and there was no way around it.

The massacre was bound to awake, and the five Demons that were roaming around the 'Jail Cell' were known as the most 'Trusted' Allies for Demon God himself;

- Hayashida Yasuhiro, known as the number 5,

- Kawabata Kiyoshi, known as the number 4,

- Okubo Aoi, known as the number 3,

- Kaneko Ryota, known as the number 2

and lastly

-Matsushima Mi, known as the number 1 of the among the group and the most lethal opponent that they weren't aware about her existence.

[Underworld - Hell Castle - Friday, 11:15 a.m.]

The five Demons were standing around the main room and each of them were known as the Half-Demons, with unknown power. "Would you look at that, the brats managed to escape. That's something that we didn't expect." Kiyoshi laughed, having a creepy smile on his face. "Well, we didn't think about him being an 'Emitter', that was a bit idiotic, Rez." Laughed Aoi, scratching his forehead. "It does not matter. Right now it is your duty to eliminate both of them... And do not be foolish, the two 'friends' of theirs followed me, one of them being my own son, so Kiyoshi and Aoi, make sure you two prepare yourselves to eliminating the two that are not in the Jail, once you succeed, return and bring them to me." Rez ordered, being quite casual about it.

"W-what about the two who're trying to escape the mere 'Jail Cell'. What should we do with them?" Wondered Ryota, having crossed arms while leaned up against the wall. "He's kind of handsome, may I say. Rez, do you allow me to go visit that boy, I can't wake to feel his mature Spirituality!" Claimed Mi, licking her lips. "Once again, you're falling for the guys? Shouldn't you be worrying about killing them?" Wondered Yasuhiro, benting his wrist. "Now come on, why can't a young girl have some fun with the good-looking ones? I'll make him mine and then Rez will have an easier time, receiving his power!" Giggled Mi. ("But, not like I'd let him take, all of his power.") She thought.

"No. Killing is not our option. Like Mi has spoken about, due to her skills surpassing yours combined, she and Ryota will go into their direction." Explained Rez, leaned up onto his large palm. "Do you allow me to be my toy? You may have his power, but leave his body to me! Pretty please!" Called Mi, enthusiastic about seeing them on the 'vision'. "Once you bring him here, only then may you have him, but of course, to do that, you must succeed." With Rez's laugh heard through the room, Mi confirmed. "That's a sassy deal, but I'll take it! But not to worry, I won't fail, but at one condition, I'll be fighting him, Ryota... You can have that girl before she steals him from me." Mi spoke, instantly becoming serious. "Sure, while you play around with you 'crush' I'll keep that girl off his hands, why the Hell not." Sighed Ryota, annoyed at her ally. "As for you, Yasuhiro, you'll be staying here, only for the time being." Exclaimed Rez.

"Of course.... No problem..."
